Williams, in full uniform, sat in with the media during Avery Johnson’s press conference and waited to ask the Nets head coach a question. When his turn came up, Williams, representing Deron Williams News, asked Johnson: “I think what everyone wants to know is, who is the best team in New York?”

Avery Johnson responded: “It’s not about having the best team in New York. My point guard talks about being the best team in the NBA and that’s what I want for him.”

Usually, there’s something about these professional sports teams that like to be playful. The fact that the Nets’ best player in D-Will is leading the charge says a lot about his happiness with his decision to re-sign with the Nets, as well as the tone that is being established for a team with high expectations. Because while Deron Williams is having fun with it, he’s led involuntary workouts with his teammates, most of whom showed up, since he returned from winning a gold medal in London.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, this is going to be a fun team to watch.
